Dear Mr. President

We have to talk.

Dear Mr. President,

Hi, you don't know who I am, in fact, you'll probably never even get the chance to know who I am. But who I am is a civilian, a civilian of the country that you're now in control of. The people of the United States wanted a change, I guess that's what you represented for them. Anyways, before I go any further, I just want to say congratulations, because you are now the president of a great country (pun intended) and we the people are not afraid to put anyone in their place.

With your first week in the office, I hope you and your family get accommodated and adjust well, I hope that your family finds living in the White House to be a great experience.

Here's what I really hope for though:

I hope you take the time to really research how your decisions could affect the state of the nation, and our relationship with other countries. I know you claim that you have no ties to Russia, but seriously those people don't fuck around and they are a real threat to this nation should you do something that they don't like.

The same goes for North Korea, their leader will NOT hesitate to initiate a nuclear war, and I would really love to graduate college without having my home county obliterated. I hope you take the time to get to know the LGBTQ community, and to listen to their concerns and wishes (and tell your VP that too). I hope you don't take away the right for anyone to marry who they love, that would make so many more people dislike you, do you really want that?

I hope you take a look at the justice system and find that it is biased and unjust, and I hope that you make the necessary changes to make sure that those proven guilty in a court of law are appropriately punished (cough cough, Brock Turner, seriously, could you just throw that guy in Guantanamo Bay or something? Literally NO ONE wants him walking the streets). I hope that you can make people feel safe in their communities, and that you can mend the broken relationship between the community and the police force.

I hope that you can help our (very) broken education system (because really, I'm almost 99% sure even you have more educational experience than Betsy-big-mouth) and PLEASE HELP OUR TEACHERS. We are NOT overpaid, I can assure you that. You have children, you probably sent them to a really good school and they got an outstanding education because of the teachers there. Many children (especially low-income families) don't have the luxury of doing that.

Can you believe that? There are children in 8th grade who struggle to read at a 3rd grade reading level. These are the children that are going to be taking on the future roles of the future cabinet members, future congress members, future doctors, lawyers, teachers, well you get the picture. Please please please don't let Bimbo Betsy be in charge of so many children's future's.

I also hope that you can fix our economy. Everyone (except the elites) is struggling right now, the housing market is trash, interest rates are "eh" to "oh my god I'm having a stroke" kind of numbers, and there just aren't enough jobs man, can you PLEASE come up with a way to find us some more jobs (or at least make it a little easier to get one?).

I love our country just like you do, but I don't love the way the environment is. You may not believe in "climate change" but something is wrong with our environment, and there are a lot of things that we can change to make this country even greater.

I hope this letter miraculously makes it to your computer, desk, phone, something. I hope you get to read this and it sticks with you. People really did vote you into that position, and we deserve the change that they saw you representing (we don't need a wall, we don't have that kind of money bud, sorry). It's time we ALL work together to make America the greatest it could be.

-An American.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
